One Billion Rising‘s mission is to end violence against women and girls. I appreciate that they look at this issue from many angles – political, socioeconomic, cultural, personal. Please look at their website and see what this incredible global action is really about.

I truly hope each of you will pick a way to experience and hopefully participate in this global action.

– Learn the flash mob dance – this has been an incredibly satisfying and moving experience for me every time. You can learn “Break The Chain” from amazing women and girls on YouTube or you can attend a class or rehearsal at a convenient location around the Bay Area. Some Berkeley/Oakland teaching locations and times are listed here.

– Join me at the downtown Oakland flash mob to rise and dance with hopefully hundreds of other people

– Join another flash mob (Berkeley and SF both have them, campuses should have them)
